everyday i think more and more about babylon. we feed on brief moments of nostalgia porn so we can see the present for what it truly is. the real reason this movie is so good is because it’s linear, yes, but a perfect adaptation of history and cinema. i saw this alone and was way too happy to laugh to myself, because i enjoyed the sensibility that comes with immanent death and how we’re all a product of time.

UM HELLLOOOOO?????

hated it. lazy attempt at a romance, following the GROOMING of a 15 year old boy, which is completely looked over because it’s 1970s Hollywood. Um yeah ok PTA. U my friend, made a power move with Phantom Thread and There Will Be Blood; but how did u miss the mark COMPLETELY with Licorice Pizza???? Full of racism which felt deliberately placed for a “laugh” even though it made no commentary on society whatsoever—it was all just to…
